Ma'am, of course Noah was no seaman, and probably hadn't the foggiest clue on how to make a seaworthy ship. But what was unique about this ship, the ark, is that it had no means of propulsion or steering; neither sail, nor oar, nor propeller, nor rudder. But none of these were necessary. And so the hull was probably not shaped like a ship's hull, a more complex design outside of the collective talent of the people then.
One thing I found interesting, and still don't understand, is that the people were warned about the flood and invited to get into the Ark to survive it. They weren't required to worship, or even acknowledge God, nor to turn from wickedness. God's invitation for them to enter the Ark and live was completely unconditional. Could anyone reading this post provide some insight into this?
To whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life!
